8. O most sweet Lord Jesus, the true light of those who believe
in thee, suavity of hearts, and sovereign solace of all faithful
souls, by that bitter gall and vinegar thou didst taste upon the
cross at the hour of thy death, grant us, miserable sinners,
grace worthily to receive at all times, particularly at the hour
of our death, thy most precious body and blood; that by the
virtue of this divine banquet, and all other salutary sacraments,
we may be preserved from all evils, sin, and punishments, and
replenished with all joy, and securely appear in thy divine
presence. Amen.
O most sweet Lord Jesus, &c.
{253}
9. O most sweet Lord Jesus, source of all regal virtue, and all
mental jubilee, remember, I beseech thee, those excessive pains
and anguishes thou didst endure for us upon the cross, when,
through the bitterness of death, and the impious blasphemies,
derisions, scorns, and reproaches of the Jews, with a loud voice
and weeping eyes, thou didst cry to thy heavenly Father, with
this sad complaint: "Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani?" that is to say,
"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" O most sweet Lord
Jesus, by this thy bitter torment, sorrow, grief, and anguish,
vouchsafe, I beseech thee, to have pity on me, and to succour me
in all my sorrows, sufferings, and tribulations, and particularly
at the hour of my death. O then, my dearest Lord and my God,
succour me, and forsake me not, I beseech thee. Amen.
O most gracious Lord Jesus, &c.
{254}
10. O most sacred Lord Jesus, Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
ending of all things, and mirror of all virtue, remember how,
from the crown of thy head to the sole of thy feet, thou wert
immerged in the deluge of thy dolorous passion, for the love of
us, vile sinners. O most sweet Lord Jesus, by the length,
breadth, greatness, and multitude of thy sacred wounds, take from
me the love of the world, and teach me by a true and perfect
charity, always to keep thy holy law and commandments. Amen.
O most wise Lord Jesus, &c.
11. O most sweet Lord Jesus, sovereign goodness, eternal
beatitude of thy saints, and most profound abyss of mercy, by the
deep wounds which did not only transpierce thy sacred flesh, but
even thy bowels, and the marrow of thy bones, be merciful to me a
miserable sinner, who now am drowned in my sins and iniquities,
and hide me in thy sacred wounds from the face of thy wrath,
until thy indignation be passed and appeased. Amen.
O most potent Lord Jesus, &c.
